The interesting part is that his wife started to cheat on him, largely did so because of his low self-esteeem. He kept beating himself up about his career failures and it turned her off. She ended up hooking up with a strong self-confident, successful man.
This theme repeats itself a lot in men's relationship manuals (Daeda and Cunningham).
Interesting.
I love Heroes too! I do think that's great for men (and women) to work on their self-esteem and confidence, but don't like the idea that a woman cheats merely b/c of a man's low self-esteem. That character, Matt seems like a very loving good man, who was having some career problems. Just doesn't seem enough for a healthy woman to go looking for a confident man. Seems like it's a little bit blaming the victim to me... Karen
